Instruction: Generate a metaphor to contrast technology and nature.

assistant
Technology is like a strict, rigid machine while nature is like a wild, free-flowing river. Technology demands exact precision to function properly, while nature follows its own rhythm and flow. Technology follows a strict set of rules and regulations, while nature creates its own with help from its environment. Technology stands tall and proud, sometimes with no room for error, while nature remains flexible and ever-changing, adapting to its surroundings. Technology is a static, unchanging object, while nature is a vibrant, ever-evolving force.
